I thought I'd found heaven until I got inside, and found prices more than twice what I was accustomed to paying for secondhand books. ALL the way to the bottom of those carefully disarranged dusty piles.

Down the road, was a bright and airy store where every book was displayed so spine or cover could be seen and the prices almost made me disgrace myself.

I wonder is Encyclopedia Britannica's decision to stop doing a print version, just like a major porn star retiring?

Powell's headquarters, dubbed Powell's City of Books, claims to be the largest independent new and used bookstore in the world. Powell's City of Books is located in the Pearl District on the edge of downtown and occupies a full city block between NW 10th and 11th Avenues and between W. Burnside and NW Couch Streets. It contains over 68,000 square feet, about 1.6 acres of retail floor space.

I'm going to send a small donation to the library whose video is at the top of the bookshelfporn site- it's so charming!-

Closet thing we have now is Barnes about 10 miles away. Won't go there! We had an independent bookstore in town for a couple of years, but no one ever shopped there. Now they're closed and the Borders in the next town closed too! Now everyone's wondering why we have no bookstores around!!
